This all started when a fan ofBend Studiojoined the conversation to tweet Director Stephen Ford in the replies asking how fans can help him and Ascender make a live-actionDays Goneshort with Sam Witwer. Ford responded to this fan with great interest, while Witwer announced that he’s willing to grow his beard out for the project. Witwer was quick to point out that theDays Goneleads all look like their characters and that cutscenes of them in character have already been shot for the game, so a live-action short would apparently be “pretty one to one.”
Lead Designer at Bend Studio Eric Jensen joined theDays Gonelive-action movie talk when he said he may not legally be able to join the project, but he wants to work on the project in some way. Jensen also offered to co-direct despite the potential legal conflict, with Ford expected to be the main director of the project.Sam Witwer is working on a new video game project, but he expressed enthusiasm with the prospect of having Jensen on as co-director.
Stephen Ford stated bluntly that he would literally drop everything that he’s working on right now in order to work with Eric Jensen and Sam Witwer on the currently hypothetical “totally not real but would be insanely awesome” live-actionDays Goneshort.Ford has expressed interest in video game adaptationsin the past and in the same Twitter thread, shared enthusiasm for working with the duo on any project. With each of theseDays Goneoriginals being so enthusiastic about a this live-action short, it may be a project that sees the light of day in the future.
